The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

A really great school. The teachers really care about the students' well beings and learning. The food is phenomenal and the dress code/uniform is pretty laid back. However, scheduling can be difficult due to a short school day. You typically only have 2 spare credits to schedule, 1 if you take a foreign language which is required for 2 years. Despite this, Riverside offers a large amount of diversity and options in it's courses.

Riverside has amazing teachers that really make getting through high school 100% easier and has many opportunities to get the college experience. The only bad thing is that theres 0 diversity and its located in such a small town where everyone knows everyone so it can get clicky very fast
